Notes
-
- Tuna: Our first choice when we can find it is jarred tuna in oil (more expensive but oh so good), but the canned kind is great too!
-
- Mustard: Any kind will work, but we love grainy mustard best, both for the milder flavor and the great texture.
-
- Lettuce: We usually use romaine, but any variety of lettuce will be fine.
- Dill pickle: You can also use dill pickle relish – start with a tablespoon and add more as you like.
